about

"Broken Flag Poles" mirrors the dystopian tendencies in our political and natural environment that are worth traveling to the ends of the universe to escape.

lyrics

Broken Flag Poles
Jay Ottaway

Another wild wicked storm
Rage above our roofless heads
Tethers rip, rivers roar
A hundred levees to defend

I wonder how we dare to hope
When darkness fills our dirty air
Beyond the bounds of any scope
Too much for one, to grin and bare

Broken flag poles, twist in the wind
Storm clouds blot the sun
Another war has just begun

Another first stone has been cast
By sinners deaf to all they've done
Strangers write our epitaphs
Steal the freedom we had won

Broken flag poles, twist in the wind
Storm clouds blot the sun
Another war has just begun

Who will save them from themselves?
After all they have done
Who will heal their angry minds?
Make them see what they've become

Broken flag poles, twist in the wind
Storm clouds blot the sun
Another war has just begun
